If we want to embrace life, we also have to embrace chaos. -Susan E. Phillips, Breathing Room
Life can feel chaotic. Okay, more than a feeling — life can truly be chaotic and unpredictable.
On Monday, everything might run smoothly – my kids get along. No one loses their homework. Everyone is on the bus on time. I get (most) of my work done at the office, and I leave feeling energized and productive. I make supper and get it on the table at a reasonable hour. Homework gets done. Baths get taken. Bedtime is at an almost reasonable hour for all five of us. It’s a good day. Gold stars all around.
But then — Tuesday. On Tuesday, I feel like need a nap before I’ve left home in the morning, This kids are fighting in the morning, and we have to chase the bus. I can’t find my car keys. I forget my computer bag at home. Even more than a large coffee with an extra shot, what I really need is a do-over.
Some days I feel like I’m organized, brave, and brilliant.
Other days, I feel like a hot mess.
Maybe both are true. But this doesn’t disqualify me from an amazing life.
We can shift our focus and scan for the beauty hidden in amidst the chaos.
